A - Jean Arthur, checking herself out in the full-length mirror as Ronald Colman watches. They're his pajamas, and this is "The Talk of the Town" (1942).
B - Alexis Smith donning Bing Crosby's pajamas for a wrestling lesson in "Here Comes the Groom" (1951). We talked about this movie a few weeks ago, and that's when the idea for this stupid trivia post occurred to me.
C - Patricia Ellis, wearing Oliver Hardy's jammies, but still maintaining her lady-like demeanor by not taking off her hat, in "The Block-Heads" (1938). I have to hand it to you here, Caftan Woman, I thought this would be a difficult one.
D - Finally, we have Claudette Colbert in Clark Gable's pajamas from "It Happened One Night" (1934). She's off to use the showers "and things".

Showers "and things"! I always laugh when she says that. Claudette was so darn cute. ;)

Yeah, I love that line.
"Caftan Woman, who certainly knows her PJs like nobody's business." If one thing can truly be said of me, that is it. I'm a PJ gal from way back.
You almost had me at "The Block-Heads", Jacqueline. It took a lot of staring before the light bulb finally clicked on over my head. Next to PJ's I'm a sucker for a great gag and the "chair" bit in the movie is a winner.
I second that on the chair gag.
Two more examples come to mind: Veronica Lake in "I Married a Witch" (1942) and Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" (1953).
Dang, you're absolutely right, my friend. Looks like we'll have to have a sequel to this post someday. Who'd have thought there'd be so many ladies in this attire?
